Struggling a bit with this.. How do I configure NM to start an IPv6 only
connection?  I don't see any gsm.ip-type or similar attribute here:

bjorn at nemi:~$ nmcli c show uuid 50160088-ca57-11e3-b04c-002186a3257d

gsm.home-only:                          no

And as expected, this creates a MM bearer with "IP type: 'none'":

bjorn at nemi:~$ mmcli -b 4
Bearer '/org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Bearer/4'
  -------------------------
  Status             |   connected: 'no'
                     |   suspended: 'no'
                     |   interface: 'unknown'
                     |  IP timeout: '20'
  -------------------------
  Properties         |         apn: 'telenor.ipv6'
                     |     roaming: 'allowed'
                     |     IP type: 'none'
                     |        user: 'none'
                     |    password: 'none'
                     |      number: 'none'
                     | Rm protocol: 'unknown'
  -------------------------
  IPv4 configuration |   method: 'unknown'
  -------------------------
  IPv6 configuration |   method: 'unknown'



Which doesn't work for me. I'm a bit GUI challenged, so I am editing
system connection files directly and using nmcli to manage the
connections.
